    I've given myself a long term project to create a crevice garden for a local charity where I volunteer. I have sown a packet of 'Mixed Saxifraga' and have these seedlings in my collection.

    Could someone tell me what they are? Are they suitable for a crevice garden?

    The individual containers are 30mm x 30mm.

    Thanks in advance.

      And to me, but the Saxifraga family is quite broad. From memory, the Greater Burnett branch of the family have leaves somewhat similar. I may be wrong. :noidea:

      Stinging Nettles - is a suitable weedkiller the "best" method of removal?
